Buckle up, car lovers! This tour is a dream for anyone obsessed with horsepower and the scent of fresh interiors. First stop: the Toyota Automobile Museum, a treasure trove of mint-condition classics and modern marvels. Then, we cruise to Toyota City, birthplace of the Toyota family, to explore the Toyota Kaikan, where you can sit in, touch, and admire the latest models (no licking!). And, of course, your guide is a true car maniac—because what’s a car tour without a car-obsessed driver?

Toyota kaikan

The Toyota Kaikan Museum is Toyota’s official showroom, located in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It showcases Toyota’s latest models, including Toyota and Lexus vehicles, as well as cutting-edge technology and the company’s vision for the future of mobility.


Visitors can get up close with the cars—sit in them, touch them, and explore their features. The exhibit also highlights Toyota’s innovations in sustainability, AI, and robotics. The museum is often visited alongside the Toyota Factory Tour, where you can see real production lines in action.


It’s a must-visit for car enthusiasts, especially those interested in Toyota’s engineering and design philosophy.

Toyota Automobile museum

The Toyota Automobile Museum, located in Nagakute, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, is a paradise for car enthusiasts. Unlike the Toyota Kaikan, which focuses on modern models and future tech, this museum showcases a vast collection of historic cars from around the world, not just Toyota models.


The exhibits span from the late 19th century to the present, featuring legendary automobiles from Japan, Europe, and America in mint condition. You’ll see everything from early steam-powered vehicles to iconic classics like the Toyota 2000GT, Ferrari, Porsche, and even Ford Model T. The museum beautifully illustrates the evolution of automotive design and technology.


There’s also a library, a café, and a gift shop filled with automotive memorabilia. Whether you're a die-hard petrolhead or just appreciate beautiful machines, this museum is a must-visit!

03:00 PM

Autobacs

A short time to nose around in one of Japan's many car speciality stores. Maybe buy a Japanese air freshener as souvenir or something for your Japanese car back home.

About Tour Guide Serge R.

Hi lovely travelers,


I'm Serge, originally from the Netherlands, and Japan has been my home for over three decades now. What brought me here initially was love, and that love has kept me rooted in this beautiful country ever since. Along the way, I discovered another love: Japan itself. Following my stint as a radio jockey and TV presenter, where I co-hosted a dedicated program for the Nagoya Grampus soccer team, I transitioned to a behind-the-scenes role as a media fixer for international media outlets.

Though my job as media fixer, I've been traveling and working throughout all of Japan, exploring unique places and meeting lots of very interesting people.

I would love to share and make you, my dear traveler, experience these places as well. Visiting and getting a tour at Japan's oldest traditional vinegar maker, or experience and taste at a traditional "katsuo bushi" bonito flake maker, or do you prefer to visit some old local shrines or temples. with no-one around you, except for the crickets and trees. Maybe you just want a friend to bring you to your desired locations and interpret and be at your beck and call 24 hours (like I do for the media). If you're looking for flexibility (time, places. transport), you won't find a better match than me.


My work as a fixer taught me a valuable lesson: the key to traveling together successfully, lies in a blend of humor, professionalism, and adaptability.

Great day for Toyota fan!

We had a great day with Serge visiting key Toyota locations. Serge was flexible with the itinerary and allowed us to make some changes to accommodate the group's interest. He was knowledgeable, friendly and safely navigated us around Nagoya and Toyota City. The day was an absolute highlight for the massive Toyota fan in our party, and we are extremely happy that we made the decision to ask Serge to facilitate this day trip for us! We would not hesitate to recommend Serge for this tour or any other that he provides. It was wonderful to meet you, Serge, and thank you again!

Dear Lisa, thank you so much for choosing me, I had a wonderful time with you all and I'm so happy I could fulfill your partner's wish to visit the mecca of Toyota. I wish you all the best and never hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need something. With kind regards, Serge

A great day with Serge

Serge designed a day trip for us to explore some "family roots" and visit the area that our family was previously from. He incorporated everything we wanted into our day, and was very engaging and personable. He worked to make the day interesting for our 11 and 13 year old boys as well. We would highly recommend Serge to anyone needing a guide in the Nagoya area.

Thank you Lisa, it was an honor to guide you guys around. The love and respect you have for eachother in your family was inspiring. Hope to see you all again in the future. With love Serge

A fun-filled tour with sightseeing and unique workshops

Right off the bat, we knew Serge would be great - he was responsive, gave wonderful suggestions for our tour and nothing seemed too difficult for him to arrange. We had requested for a visit to Korankei Gorge to see the autumn colours, a pottery workshop and another activity which would be fun for all members of our family. It was a tall order, since most places would be closed by 5pm (the first 2 activities would already take up nearly 7 hours including travelling time), but Serge managed to convince a food “sampuru” artist (an award-winning one, no less!) to host us at his own home for a workshop, making food replicas/samples (the sort you see in a display showcase in front of a Japanese restaurant). Having Serge as our guide was like having an old friend taking us around; thanks to Serge, we had a fun-filled day and took home happy memories of the unique experiences!
